U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is visiting Central America to strengthen cooperation on curbing drug trafficking and reducing undocumented migration to the U.S., meeting leaders in Panama, Costa Rica, and Honduras.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem continued her tour of Central America on Wednesday, focusing on Washington’s immigration and security priorities.
Noem began her three-day trip in Panama, where she met President Jose Raul Mulino. Mulino said on X, “The work against illegal migration and international crime does not stop... We have regained control of our borders.”
She then visited Costa Rica, meeting President Rodrigo Chaves, who said, “We have made every effort to strengthen our relationship with the United States in the fight against international crime.”
Earlier in March, Noem visited Mexico, praising President Claudia Sheinbaum’s anti-trafficking efforts but noting Mexico still falls short of U.S. security expectations.
Central America remains vital in tackling irregular migration—especially from Honduras and El Salvador—and is a key drug transit route. Noem is currently in Honduras, scheduled to meet President Xiomara Castro to further discuss these issues.
